And are unaware of any other alarm related issues."Anyone else heard a different story? Hmmm Today I got a call from Hanna at Ford melbourne to say I would have a new loom to resolve the DVD noise in 3-4 weeks and a software upgrade may be released in 4-5 weeks addressing the chirp and boot problem.

Most times BUT NOT ALWAYS, if I press the boot release without unlocking the doors first, the alarm beeps twice and when I open the boot the alarm is triggered. The anoying thing is that SOMETIMES it beeps three times and the alarm is not triggered all fixed now, apparently they replaced the boot switch... Now to make the bugger chirp on arming.

I would be happy if it didn't trigger the siren randomly when I start it. Once every couple of days (usually at shops) the siren goes off when I start it....the first time I switched the motor off got out, locked and unlocked, the alarm still squealing eventually it timed out so I got back in and started it and the alarm went off again, so now I just drive it away, alarm howling ...bringing a whole new meaning to "drive it like you stole it"......which brings me to another point - know one takes any notice anyway, so if you dont hear your own alarm its a waste of money!!

The guy who installed mine left it slightly loose and it would trigger at random. Its at the bottom right of the board ( the one in the drivers footwell )Dave.

Reason is, I have a shock sensor connected to the bonnet trigger, you think this could be causing it, was going to disconnect it and see if it still did it before I go back to service anyway, but that's all that stopping someone smashing a window.

Could the battery voltage drop to much while cranking and the alarm thinks its being disconnected?
